CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS a. NSF will exercise its responsibility for oversight and monitoring of procurements, contracts or other contractual arrangements for the purchase of materials and supplies, equipment or general support services under the award. The procedures set forth below shall be followed to ensure that performance, materials and services are obtained in an effective manner and in compliance with the provisions of applicable Federal statutes and executive orders. The awardee shall obtain prior written approval from the cognizant NSF Grants and Agreements Officer prior to entering into a contract if the amount exceeds $250,000 or other amount specifically identified in the agreement. Contracts clearly identified in the NSF award budget are considered approved at the time of award unless withheld by the Grants and Agreements Officer. Contracts must be clearly identified in the NSF award budget (on Line G6. Other) or by receiving written prior approval from the cognizant NSF Grants and Agreements Officer after an award is issued. The threshold noted above also applies to cumulative increases in the value of the contractual arrangement after initial NSF approval. The awardee shall not artificially segregate its procurements to lesser dollar amounts for the purpose of circumventing this requirement. A request to enter into a contract shall include, at a minimum: 1. Proposed contractual arrangement document; 2. A description of the supplies or services required; 3. Identification of the type of contract to be issued; 4. The proposed price and the recipient's cost or price analysis; 5. Identification of the proposed vendor, an explanation of why and how the proposed vendor was selected, and the degree of competition obtained; and 6. If the contract was awarded without competition, the memorandum shall include a detailed justification.
Subcontract Requirements As required by Section 6.22(e)(5) of the Administrative Code, Contractor shall insert in every subcontract or other arrangement, which it may make for the performance of Covered Services under this Agreement, a provision that said subcontractor shall pay to all persons performing labor in connection with Covered Services under said subcontract or other arrangement not less than the highest general prevailing rate of wages as fixed and determined by the Board of Supervisors for such labor or services.
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act Requirements To the extent any documents are required to be filed or any certification is required to be made with respect to the Issuer or the Notes pursuant to the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act, the Issuer hereby authorizes the Servicer and the Seller, or either of them, to prepare, sign, certify and file any such documents or certifications on behalf of the Issuer.
Support Requirements If there is a dispute between the awarded vendor and TIPS Member, TIPS or its representatives may assist, at TIPS sole discretion, in conflict resolution or third party (mandatory mediation), if requested by either party. TIPS, or its representatives, reserves the right to inspect any project and audit the awarded vendors TIPS project files, documentation and correspondence. TIPS Members stand in the place of TIPS as related to this agreement and have the same access to the proposal information and all related documents. TIPS Members have all the same rights under the awarded Agreement as TIPS.
Program Requirements The parties shall comply with the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Program requirements established in 49 CFR Part 26.
